Party Foul: The Fourth Circuit's Improper Application Of The Commercial Speech Test Ineducational Media Co. At Virginia Tech, Inc. V. Swecker, Michelle Silva Fernandes

Fordham Law Review

The pervasive culture of underage and excessive drinking on college campuses has led to numerous federal and state regulatory efforts to reduce drinking rates among college students. One such policy has been to restrict alcohol advertisements in college student publications, which implicates the First Amendment by limiting access to lawful commercial speech. Although the Supreme Court has developed a four-part balancing test to determine the validity of commercial speech restrictions, the Court has not articulated the level of proof required for assessing the validity of restrictions on alcohol advertisements in college student publications. This Note focuses on the degree of …

The Unforeseen Costs Of Going To Trial: The Vitality Of 212(C) Relief For Lawful Permanent Residents Convicted By Trial, Mark J. Difiore Nov 2011

The Unforeseen Costs Of Going To Trial: The Vitality Of 212(C) Relief For Lawful Permanent Residents Convicted By Trial, Mark J. Difiore

Fordham Law Review

Before 1996, a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) who was made deportable by a criminal conviction could apply for discretionary relief from deportation under section 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This relief, commonly known as "212(c) relief," was repealed in 1996. In 2001, the Supreme Court confronted the issue of whether an LPR with a pre-1996 deportable conviction could apply for 212(c) relief in his later post-repeal removal proceedings. The Court decided that an LPR who pleaded guilty to his pre-1996 conviction could still apply for 212(c) relief following the 1996 repeal. The status of those LPRs who were …

Judge Or Jury? Determining Deception Or Misrepresentation Under The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Christian Stueben Jan 2010

Judge Or Jury? Determining Deception Or Misrepresentation Under The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Christian Stueben

Fordham Law Review

This Note explores the conflict among the federal circuit courts as to whether a judge or jury should decide if the language contained in a collection letter is false, misleading, or deceptive to the least sophisticated consumer under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Some circuits, such as the Second and Ninth Circuits, hold that this issue is a question of law, appropriate for the judge to decide. In contrast, the Seventh Circuit finds this to be a question of fact, and requires the plaintiff to submit extrinsic evidence in the form of professional surveys in order to reach …


Using Disparate Impact Analysis In Fair Housing Act Claims: Landlord Withdrawal From The Section 8 Voucher Program, Rebecca Tracy Rotem Jan 2010

Using Disparate Impact Analysis In Fair Housing Act Claims: Landlord Withdrawal From The Section 8 Voucher Program, Rebecca Tracy Rotem

Fordham Law Review

The Fair Housing Act (FHA) outlaws discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex. A plaintiff can win an FHA claim using a disparate impact theory by showing that the defendant’s actions had a disproportionately adverse impact on a protected class. This Note will address a circuit court split on whether a landlord can be held liable for discrimination under the FHA for withdrawing from the Section 8 voucher program. Section 8 is a government program that provides low-income citizens with vouchers to pay a portion of their rent. Many voucher recipients are minorities or persons …
